24.01.2022 A couple of weeks ago ABC news came to Apple Crate Shack / 60k House to film a story about housing affordability. The story will go to air tomorrow (Wednesday) on ABC News Breakfast between 7:30 - 09:00am and on the 7pm ABC news bulletin.

22.01.2022 'Rightsizing' is the way of the future - not just for the ageing population. Australia builds the biggest houses in the world. Inter-generational living is also something we are considering at the moment with the current project on the drawing board a 'granny flat' at the rear of an existing family home.

18.01.2022 Looking forward to the new facilities at Kelvedon Park being enjoyed by Taroona Football Club and visitors. It was a long time in the making! Official opening and more photos coming soon...

18.01.2022 2/3 through Movember! I used to think it was a bit of a laugh - then I found out the stats. Then I lost my dad at age 66 - then it became real. During October, November & December we lose 1,411 men in Australia to suicide, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. ... Funds raised help the Movember Foundation to fund groundbreaking projects to tackle these killers and help change the face of men’s health.

18.01.2022 Landscaping at Kelvedon Park last weekend with volunteers from Taroona Football Club and The Veggie Patch Guy - Landscaping. Ready for the season and the official opening in a couple of months

18.01.2022 Kelvedon Park - 2020 Builder: Threshold Construction Engineer: Aldanmark Approached by Taroona FC in 2013 wanting a Woodbridge on the hill this project has been 7 years in the making. Today it was used for the first round of the delayed season. ... Arguably the most picturesque ground in Tasmania, the original facilities left a lot to be desired. The new building house four change rooms (allowing male and female matches to be played one after the other), two referees rooms, accessible toilets, storage for playing equipment, a kiosk that serves an undercover area, a bar that serves the function space and a covered verandah for spectator viewing. The sequence of spaces is considered for the diverse user groups: players, match officials, volunteers and spectators. The building sits low in the landscape, respectful of its neighbours, while offering degrees of transparency for views over and through the building to the water beyond. @thresholdconstruct @kingboroughtas Taroona Football Club #akaarchitects #akakelvedon #communitysport #pitchwithaview @hellokingborough @footballtas @ Taroona, Tasmania, Australia

18.01.2022 Published! Apple Crate Shack is the first project in this recently printed book from Spain. Sustainable Homes features projects from all around the world. #akaarchitects #applecrateshack #sustainabledesign @ Flowerpot

17.01.2022 Woodbridge Community Sports Facility - 2013 Builder: R B Edwards & Son Engineer: Aldanmark Pty Ltd Photographer: Jordan Davis @theshyalbatross ... As we continue to celebrate community sport we take a look back at the project that launched @akaarchitects. It’s a real pleasure to design a building that continues to be used and loved by so many. This fit-for-purpose facility is a home for the Woodbridge Cricket Club & Woodbridge Soccer Club. The pavilion houses all of the essentials - change rooms, toilets and club rooms - but also offers a variety of sheltered outdoor spaces. This project was awarded a commendation in the Small Project category at the @architects_tas 2014 awards and also won the People’s Choice Prize for the most popular project of the year. #akaarchitects #akawoodbridge #communitysport #cricketpavilion @ Woodbridge, Tasmania

17.01.2022 Pleased to announce that Kyle has become an Associate at AKA architects! Kyle joined 4.5 years ago after graduating from UTas and quickly proved invaluable. Kyle is responsible for developing many designs from concept through to documentation and construction, all of the sketch models and renders, graphic design, plywood furniture, motivation for lunchtime runs, colourful shirts, jumpers and the odd beret. Thank you! @kyleholmstrom #akaarchitects

17.01.2022 Tune in to ABC tonight at 9:30pm for a film about iconic Aussie architect Richard Leplastrier. Better than any episode of Grand Designs! https://www.facebook.com/106155447734671/videos/672925266604571/

15.01.2022 Our fabulous client @ividodd captured this image of her strawbale house covered in snow last week. The off-grid home, designed with passive solar principles, stayed cosy and warm during the recent cold snap.

14.01.2022 New change rooms and clubrooms currently under construction by Threshold for Taroona FC & Kingborough Council

14.01.2022 This October I’m riding over 700km in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids cancer! Along with @nworledge & @ludford05 we’re pedalling to raise funds to support the Children’s Medical Research Institute. Every two minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer - it’s the largest killer of children from disease in Australia. I’m riding for a couple of brave little Tassie boys diagnosed with brain cancer. Their families have relocated to Melbourne for treatment. ... If able, please consider making a donation to help provide care, develop treatments and ultimately find a cure for childhood cancers. https://greatcyclechallenge.com.au/Riders/AndrewKerr #greatcyclechallenge2020 #greatcyclechallenge #kickcancersbutt

11.01.2022 TV debut this morning: pre-recorded story about housing affordability on ABC News Breakfast. Will be on air again tonight from 7pm. Putting Flowerpot on the map and gaining national exposure for the moustache! #akaarchitects #applecrateshack #60khouse #movember

08.01.2022 Lightwood Park - 2021-2023? Some of our work is speculative, produced to foster a concept, allow for a costing and to generate interest. Funding for design is often limited at this stage of a project but we appreciate the opportunity to help community groups convey their ideas. This project is planned to provide improved facilities for the Kingborough Lions United Football Club and soccer in southern Tasmania more broadly. The proposal includes a series of change rooms at pi...tch level, club facilities and function space on the concourse level, and grandstand seats located in the roof. The facility would help turn the pitch into a boutique stadium capable of hosting local, state and national matches for both women, men and youth. #akaarchitects #akalightwood #asone @klufclub @footballtas @ Lightwood Park

07.01.2022 Ranelagh Multipurpose Pavilion - 2021? Congratulations to the Huon Agricultural Society on the recent announcement for funding to develop a multipurpose pavilion at the Ranelagh Recreation Ground. We developed a design concept that references the local vernacular buildings and celebrates the local timber heritage. The design, sketch renders and costing supported the successful federal grant application. ... The pavilion, scheduled for construction next year, will host regional events such as the @huonshow @tasteofthehuon and @huonvalleymidwinterfest #akaarchitects #akaranelagh @huonvalleytas #rurallife #vernaculararchitecture @ Ranelagh, Tasmania, Australia

07.01.2022 The new facilities for the Taroona Football Club were officially opened last Sunday. The opening included speeches from the Club president and the various levels of government who helped to fund it: local, state and federal, as well as the Tasmanian Community Fund. This has been the largest and longest running project at AKA, beginning in 2013. It has been a pleasure to see how the new building is embraced by the community sport club it supports.
